At least two people were killed and 17 others injured Wednesday, when a three-story building collapsed in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City.
The four-unit apartment building crumpled into a construction site next to it at about 4 p.m. ET in the Flatbush area.
Seven of the casualties were children, Reuters reported, with at least 10 people taken to a hospital. Authorities did not confirm if any of the children were among those killed.
Rescuers searched for survivors into the night with about 250 first responders at the scene. "We'll continue to look until we find everybody," FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said.
